Brockville, Ont., March 9. -Never "ln
its hist..ry of nearly a century i.as the
town of Brockville been so convu.s,;d
ai.d thrown into such a terrible state
of excitement as It was to -day at 0000
by the enactment in broad daylight,
and on one of its leading thorough-
fares, of one of the n.ost awful trage-
dies ever occurring in the ILominion
of Canada. The total result or the
tragic (trail• was on; man shot dead
ort the spot, the Clr.ef of Pollee mor -
telly wounded, ancy-'her member of the
:force seriously injured, an Indian bad-
ly hurt, and six others suffering mule
or less from wounds Inflicted by •a
single man armed with a breech -1 sed-
ing shotgun; and the cause of all the
terrible destruction and . suffering is
himseif lying at the point of death
from wounds inflicted by shots fired at
hint in cider to put a stop to his death-
dealing- work and effect his capture.
The town clock had just struck the
noon hour, 'and the streets were
thronged with people on their waY
to dinner. Suddenly the sharp orack
of a gun was heard in the western end
of the town, which caused the hurry-
ing crowd to stop and ascertain the
cause. This was followed by other re-
pc•rts 3n quick succession• Soon the
news spread that several persons .had
been shot, and the excitement became
intens•ta. The cause of all the trouble
was a man named Lapointe, who re-
sides about six miles north of the town
on what is known as the Perth road.
He has usually been leaked upon as of
not very sound mind, but generally
inoffersive, except when under ti e In-
fluence of liquor. He Was a noted Fox-
hunter, and usually carried a gun in
Ills rambles about the country. He
`r,•as In town nn Sa,tnrdav, and h"d
leen drinking some. He left his hones,
at an hotel here t.nd must have walked
home that night. His movements dur-
ing the early part of to -day are not'
known as yet, though it is supposed
he walked into town. At all events,
just about noon he made his app'ar-
an e on Perth street, walking in the
direction of King street, the principal
business street of the town. He was I
accosted by several parties on his way
in. and he then talked quite rationally
and seemed to be quite sober.
As he neared King street he sudden-
ly threw his head back and gave vent
to several loud ye'ls such as fox-hunt-
ers often use in calling their dogs, and
at the same time fired a couple of
shots In the air. When he had got
within about 20 yards of the corner of
King and Perth streets he took up his
position alongside a high billboard .m
the west side of Perth street. Just at
this time, Chief of Police Rose heaven -
ed to come up to the opposite corner,
and Lapointe, taking d:l.berate atm,
flied, the charge of heavy buckshot
lodging in his chest, throat sad head
In falling to the *round tho Chet
pushed an old man named Moore for-
ward past the corner of the building.
Lapointe fired again, and Moore fell
dead. Alonzo Serves was alms st
alongside Moore at the time. but he
escaped the effects of the shot alto-
gether. But an old Indian named
Di kson, who was also close by, was
not so fortunate. He roc teed a por-
tion of the charge in his lace and head,
staggered, and fell neavily to the
ground. By this time, as might be
supposed, the wlld-st excitement pre-
vailed, the sharp reports o1 Lapointe's
gun, his occasional wild yells, the hor-
rified exclamations of the spectators
and the mad rush on the part of the
latter to escape from the dreadful car-
nage, going to make up a scene hor-
rible in the extreme. But brave men
were not wanting in the crowd, and as
soon as they had doll oted themselves
plans v ere set on foot to capture the
murderer.
The latter was all the time standing
at the point where he had first sta-
tioned himself, and at ea'h discha•tge
of his murderous weapon could be seen
a.mly taking loarl_a cartridgr s from
his pocket and reload.ng. Constable
Tinsley, who was in the poli :e head-
quarters, only a few reds away, came
out, and from behind t, e wet h seeks
close by was firing at Lapoiseekse with a
revolver. The range was too long aria
his shots proved inefeective. Ali this
time Lapointe was flr.ng as fast as he
could, and several persons were more
or less injured.
Finally, Tinsley se'ured posy' s'on
of a shotgun and crossed over to a gro-
cery store kept by Mrs. Murpey, ent: r-
ing by a side door on King street. In
old -r to get at Lapo nte, Tineley step-
ped out on the sidewalk, and just as
he raised his arm Lapointe fired. and
the constable had to retreat. Covered
with blood.
In the meantime two or three parties
armed with guns and revolvers had
got to the upper windows of adjacent
buildings and fired at Lapointe. All
at once Lapointe was seen to drop his.
gun and fall to the ground. One of
the shots had struck him in the -ab-
domen. and another in the leg. The
angry mob made a rush for the mur-
derer the moment he fell. Seizing him
they draa:•ged him te, the centre of the
road. Cries of " Shoot him!" " Lynch
him!" were heard above the din. BY
the efforts of some of the more cnot-
headed, the mob were prevented from
carrying their threats Into execution,
and Lapointe was taken to the police
statin and locked up In a cell.

Paticy of conciliation. if Mr. Green-
way Is to act at all, they desire him to

he may be in a position to S'116W that
he is in earnest. A prominent Con-

friend of the Ministers, informs tate
writer that Mr. Greenway will not be

An enterpr.se which threatened to be
a great rival to the Canadian Pacific
Railway , has probably recenved its qul-

to the head of Vancouver Island,
thence across Seymour Narrows to the
mainland, over the Rockies, via Yellow
Head Pass, thence through the Terri-
tories to the southern boundary of
Manitoba, where It would tap a United
States system of railways. The pro-
moters, who are noarly all Victoria

essary capital -six m•1lions-in London
and Amsterdam, conditional on the
British Columbia Government guaran-
teeing the bonds of the company at 4
per cent. for' a term of years. To -day
telegrams were received here stating
that the Provincial Government re-
fused to give the guarantee, vtrhiohi
means that the enterprise cannot be
